Responsible Learner

One of the things I like about myself the most is the fact that I am a very responsible learner. I show this in a variety of ways every day during school. One way I show this is by having great time management skills. I can juggle school, tennis practice, tennis matches, community service, as well as homework every night of the week. Time management is not a skill that just came to me overnight, but something I have honed and worked on for years. Because my grades are important to me, I take it upon myself to do every single homework assignment to the best of my ability, even though I know I can pass the classes of mine by just doing well on in class assignments, tests, and projects. By doing the homework, I surpass the expected average grade, or “C” and strive to get an A in every single class that I take. This has paid off because I have gotten into colleges of my choice and have gotten a chance to go great things in my future.
Another way I am a responsible learner is because of the fact that even though I have gotten into nine colleges, I still try my hardest during my senior year, which is usually when people slack off, or get “senioritis”. I have maintained a 3.8 GPA since this year began, instead of messing around with friends or ditching school. I know that the high school senior grades are extremely important to the colleges I am interested in, especially the University of California, Santa Cruz.
